A 6 week guided plan to help small YouTube channels create daily videos, gain momentum, and grow organically.
Please note: This is not a guide to creating a new YouTube channel.
This process is for small, established YouTube channels, that are already part of the partner program (i.e. you are setup to be paid by YouTube)
You should already be comfortable filming, editing, and sharing your work.
You’ll need to be able to commit to at least 6 weeks for this to be successful.
This is going to be really hard.
Results will always be variable depending on your channel and audience.
Great question! This is a "go at your own pace" challenge, but is setup as a 6 week guided resource to help you choose a definable project and post a video each day detailing your progress.

We’re Jonathan & Ashley Longnecker from Tiny Shiny Home. We are full-time YouTubers, building a sustainable off-grid desert homestead, and sharing our journey.
It wasn’t always this way, though. Two years ago our channel had less than 10k subscribers, and we were making a measly $150/month.
The path to making our passion profitable has has been a wild ride, and we hope this Daily Video Challenge is just the kickstart you need to get your own YouTube channel moving in the right direction.
